Transcriptional dysregulation by a nucleus-localized aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy

Tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) is a translation factor and predominantly cytoplasmic, but can also be found in the nucleus. Here authors show using a fly model of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease that nuclear localization of mutant TyrRS contributes to the CMT-like phenotype.
